Andrey Tabakov

Lead Software Engineer

I have always been passionate about software engineering and creating solutions that make a difference. As a Lead Software Engineer, I apply my programming skills and knowledge in various sectors, such as finance, healthcare, government, social and gaming. Some of the projects that I have worked on include a web platform to assist oncologists in making decisions, and web applications for making interactive reports on car traffic for business dept. Now I participate in the development of an AI-based solution that allows for data-pipeline creation without coding. I am always updating my skills and learning new languages, techniques and technologies. I design robust and efficient architectures for high-load microservices, ensuring scalability, reliability and security. My goal is to lead a team of talented developers and deliver innovative and high-quality products.

Aluna Health

Position: Lead Software Engineer
Since: November 2017
Until: July 2021

As the lead software engineer at Aluna Platform, a cloud-based system for medical professionals to support clinical decisions, I built the project from scratch using Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot 2, Gradle, Angular, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Intersystems IRIS, and Redis. I worked with a team of 11 people, including developers, QA, UI/UX, BA, PM, CTO, and CEO. I accomplished several challenging tasks, such as creating a natural language processing algorithm for processing clinical notes using Apache Ruta Engine, InterSystems IKnow, and CTakes; developing a rule management system for clinicians; building a system for clinical recommendations based on rules and patient medical records; and implementing the FHIR protocol for sharing patient data. In addition to coding, I also reviewed code for my team members, wrote technical specifications for tasks, and assisted with coding issues. I used Atlassian Jira for task management and followed the Kanban agile methodology with some scrum features for project management.

PrismHR

Position: Remote Full-Stack Developer
Since: May 2019
Until: February 2020

I developed new features for the Benefit Enrollment module as a remote web developer at BIARUM. I used React, GraphQL, AWS (Lambda), Serverless, and NodeJS as the core technology stack. I also helped migrate the old system from Unibasic, Scala, Unidata, and AngularJS to the new stack. I analyzed forms to ensure a successful migration. I worked with a team of 10 people, including product owners, scrum master, QA, team lead, and UI/UX designer. I attended daily meetings on RingCentral\GoToMeeting and followed the scrum methodology using Atlassian Jira for project management.

Biarum

Position: Full-Stack Developer
Since: July 2017
Until: July 2021

As a full-stack web developer at Biarum, I worked on several projects related to healthcare and car traffic data using Java, Spring Boot, Angular, Leaflet, PostgreSQL, and Redis. I refactored Java code and implemented functionality for creating automated reports in PPTX using the Apache POI framework. I also developed algorithms for interacting with maps (shapefile) in Java and used PostGIS for GPS coordinates in PostgreSQL. Besides development, I set up various server environments on Ubuntu, CentOS, Windows Server, MacOS X, including Tomcat, SSL, Apache, Nginx, PHP, Node, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc. I used TeamCity for continuous integration and SonarQube for code quality analysis. I consulted and reviewed code for other developers in some projects. I used Atlassian Jira for task management and followed agile methodologies such as Scrum, Kanban, XP for project management. I also conducted technical interviews for software engineers of different levels.

Siemens

Position: Intern Java Developer
Since: July 2016
Until: July 2017

As an intern web developer at Siemens, I developed the server and client-side of two applications using Spring, JSP, AngularJS, and PostgreSQL. One application was related to rail traffic and involved rewriting a heuristic algorithm in Java from Python. The other application was about designing medium and low voltage networks and involved contributing to the architecture design and development from scratch. I learned how to debug and test server applications effectively. I also used Git for team collaboration. In addition, I installed, configured and integrated CI systems (Jenkins, TeamCity) and used Redmine for reporting and project management. I followed the Scrum agile development methodology with elements of XP.
